One of my Facebook friends is Kevin Walsh of Forgotten NY blog and book. He posted a video of one of my newer loves, Alvin Stardust on his Facebook wall. In the comments someone mentioned Roy Wood. The name was familiar but I couldn’t place him. So I looked him up on Youtube: I ask [...]

2212. Music makes the world go 'round. That's the way I think of it anyway. But musical acts are, in essence, not just a group of guys or gals or guys-n-gals getting together to play, get famous, and collect scads of fans – they're more than that. They're businesses, too – some very successful, the vast majority, not so. Bear in mind that, through this subsequent narrative, I am not a lawyer...

Seven goals in five games have confirmed Udinese's forward as one of Serie A's most consistent scorers around The kids aren't singing, nor the bells ringing any more than usual, but Roy Wood would certainly feel at home in Udine.

Well, it's Friday and you know what that means. Yes, my Oriental boinkstress Technicolor Consultant Fah Lo Suee and I are off to Massachusetts, where we hope to confront Congressman Barney Frank about why he wants to send all his gay Jewish relatives to Obama's FEMA death camps. Well, not really, but I want to see if I can get a date with that little pixie-ish chick who was asking him about that stuff...

Q: What do you get when you cross a guy playing Bach riffs on a harpsichord faster than his fingers can safely move, a honking 50s sax section, crazed boogie woogie piano, a flanged bass solo and a twangy sitar plunking away vaguely out of tune? A: The greatest, or at least the funniest, rock instrumental of the last several decades. Ladies and germs, please enjoy "The Carlsberg Special (Pianos...
